The difference throughout was execution. Especially in the first 30 minutes, the Tigers ran its offense with a disconcerting efficiency, taking numerous shots on Cynar's crease with little immediate challenge.
With a constant back-up, Princeton simply reset from behind after missing a shot.
The Crimson, meanwhile, had a tough time finding good scoring chances until late in the game, and even then the shots were often rushed.
Princeton gets no rest in the coming week. The Tigers play No. 9 Cornell (8-0, 4-0) this Saturday and No. 1 Syracuse (8-1) on Sunday--an especially tough weekend, since Cornell beat Syracuse 13-12 last Tuesday in Ithaca.
The Crimson will have an easier time this week. Harvard travels to UMass (4-5, 1-3 ECAC) on Wednesday and faces Yale (6-3, 1-3) in New Haven on Saturday.
